Friendly: Woking 2 Palace Res 0

Last updated : 01 August 2004 By Nik Taylor

Palace reserves got their first run-out of the pre-season at Woking yesterday, but were beaten by two first-half goals.

With the more experienced second-stringers aiming to battle their way into the line-up for Saturday's match at Ipswich, it was a very young side that played at Kingfield.

Woking’s first came from the penalty spot after 36 minutes – ex-Arsenal midfielder Ian Selley striking the ball firmly past Cedric Berthelin.

And the game was effectively wrapped up just before the break when Justin Richards added the second for Woking.

Palace XI:
Berthelin, Wilson (Conray ‘76), Fray, Soares, Togwell, El-Salah, Noto (Dolan ‘56), Pritchard (Marshall ‘70), Onouchie, Berry (Graban ‘85), Simpson.
